Table 1 Statistical analysis results of the tensile test of the ulna fracture model. Biomechanical testing indicated that Group F (ulnar olecranon locking plate) demonstrated significantly higher maximum load and stiffness than all other groups. These properties were followed by those of Groups C and D. No statistically significant difference was found between Group B and Group E. Group A consistently exhibited the lowest values in both parameters. Significant values are in bold.
